PEOPLE CAN EVENT VOLUNTEERS

Bradford Volunteer Centre is launching a new scheme – People Can Event Volunteers. Sometimes charities hold one off events which need volunteer support. The People Can team will be a pool of volunteers that different charities can use when they need volunteers for events. This is ideal for those people who do not want to volunteer on a regular basis. It’s a great way to give something back, meet new people or to get experience of working with a team of people in a customer facing environment.Find out more by clicking here.
